These adverts are so good !!! 😄

Just noticed my ancient music albums have crossed 500k listens. Feeling quietly grateful that such a niche corner of cultural history continues to resonate with people around the world.

10,000 monthly listeners — roughly the population of Vatican City. Which means the Pope has streamed it. This is how statistics work. #AncientMusic #Composer #NowStreaming #10kListeners

haaahahaha omg

This made me howl with laughter for a good 5 minutes !

A T rex just appeared over our hedge 😁. After the appropriate amount of eye rubbing and general disbelief I saw it had pulled into the farm for a pit stop 😁

😆

250000 streams on Spotify of The Music of Ancient Rome. That's amazing ! maryanntedstoneglover.bandcamp.com

Happy Eid to all who celebrate it youtu.be/-3C4mHWG-Oo?... Hyundai MEA advert in 2023 with Michael Tedstone, Glenn Sharp and the late great Hossam Ramzy. It goes with the music so well !! Thanks Audio Network for the placement 😊

The track Bacchus from my album The Music of Ancient Rome hit 100,000 streams last night. When I wrote the album it was part of my PhD submission and I wasn't sure that anyone would stream it. It's so niche. Turns out lots of people listened. Thank you so much. open.spotify.com/artist/2eoKA...

Just saw that a piece I wrote with Michael Tedstone was used in a short film that won an Oscar nomination last year. Thanks to Audio Network for the placement and to the director Yegane Moghaddam. What a lovely film !

Haahahaha I cant get enough of these. They make my day 😆

This was a great read “When your friends, family and neighbours are dying, and there is a very real prospect that you will die soon too, it is only natural to wonder why this is happening and what awaits you in the next life.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Today I made a new friend… 😏🎄I’m not entirely sure how long we’re going to stay friends but I’m enjoying every second of it.

well.... this is exciting

There’s always one…. 😩😁😂🎄❄️

Always my favourite at this time of year “oh shut up Wesley” 😆

Helloooo Bluesky friends.. Does anyone else have lego city advent calendar ? what on earth is behind day 2 and how do I build it? Asking for a friend obvs 😆

I thought I’d reined it in this year. Does anyone else have an Advent Calendar addiction? Even the dog has one !🤭

Current mood: Bacchus (track 3)

Spent four hours yesterday recording the audiobook of this. Such a revelation. Declaiming Agathon’s speech in camp tones made so much sense of its florid phraseology!

Catch our own Mary Ann Tedstone Glover @ancientmusic.bsky.social on BBC Radio 3's Sound of Cinema today at 4pm ... www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
